.@wesruckerTBA was one of the few good things about this place, and for Tennessee expatriates such as myself, he was a big way in which I followed Tennessee football, basketball, and baseball. My heart breaks for his wife and the rest of his family.

Was reminded of a funny @wesruckerTBA story from his early days on the UTC beat for the TFP. He had a story that he felt needed to go longer than the usual inch-count for features (20-inch stories were the norm, but Wes typically felt every word he wrote was a pearl, and needed more space LOL), so @JFTanner told him pretty sternly, "Fine, Wes, but we don't have space for some 70-inch novel." When the story came in - at a whopping 68 inches long (which would essentially eat up an entire page) - Wes called and deadpanned, "I kept it under 70, just like you said."
Like most of you guys who follow along on #VolTwitter, I've read so many of the posts about Wes, and it's just sort of a surreal feeling. Again, please keep his family in prayer in the coming days.
